In a new research note, RBC Capital Markets analyst Amit Daryanani has kept his rating on Apple’s shares to “outperform”, enthusing that the iPhone maker’s big media event on September 9 will “provide investors with better clarity around the new product line-up”.
Daryanani expressed his firm’s opinion that, in the iPhone 6S, “new casings material, better camera and Force Touch integration will be the key standouts”. These are all widely expected features of the new handsets; however, intriguingly, he additionally predicted that the new handset will have more microphones than the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, which would allow for clearer sounds in calls and recordings.
Similarly interestingly, Daryanani has used the research note, a copy of which has been obtained by AppleInsider, to dismiss the possibility that Apple will launch its 12.9-inch “iPad Pro” on Wednesday – contrary to recent reports that the Cupertino company is lining up the large slate for a surprise reveal alongside the iPad Mini 4 on that day. An October launch for new iPads would certainly be closer to Apple tradition.
